Great idea Abbas, i'm for it. I also support Jessie's idea of adding video links to the offline wikipedia. I hope that it's possible.
Yours, Dennis.

Excellent idea, Abbas, and thank you, Jessie, for these links. Note that Camara is represented in Kenya, in Mombasa:http://kenya.camara.ie/
Perhaps WMKE can help Camara expand the Kenya operation? Perhaps, likewise, Camara can support and help WMKE? Please take some time to look into this. Could we maybe reach out to them and see if we can get them to meet us in Nairobi during my upcoming visit?

Hey all -
yes, Khan is something that is widely distributed in the same open education resources community that our Offline Wikipedia is very popular in! There are some offline projects that already package it together with our resources along with others, including Camara[1] and the RACHEL education portal.
It would be awesome to figure out ways to add links (for example, at the top of a page in italics) to specific articles within the offline Wikipedia that sync to a complementary video lesson, imho :)

Greetings, Has anyone of you guys heard of Khan Academy(www.khanacademy.org)? Khan Academy is a multiple-award winning non-profit organization/website that has
free collections of educational videos ranging from Math, Calculus, Algebra, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics and man more. I was thinking of carrying out an offline project with Khan where we'd
download and distribute these videos to educational institutions probably during September. If you guys are interested, I'll arrange a meetup where we could discuss the way forward.
Cheers,Abbas.
